Just ordered this. I’m going to see if it manages to oust Rings from my rack or not. I only have room in my rack for one or the other. That said, I am yet to be disappointed in a Mutable module & this one looks pretty great.

Such a thoughtful UI: three controls, not two, proper attenuators, and a built-in VCA. Also, it has two of my favourite MI oscillator modes in it - the 2-op FM hidden in Rings, and the waveshaped triangle out of Tides.

I have literally finished building a bunch of analogue VCOs I was contemplating swapping my Braids out for. And then this. I know I’m a fanboy, but this is great: lovely UI, smaller and cheaper than Braids (it’s £199 in the UK).

He is remarkable at taking his time - I note that many of the beta testers on MW have been using this thing for months, and I imagine it’s been through a lot of revs. A combination of knowing yourself, trusting yourself, and having skills. He’s how I got into building synth things, and I am always going to be a little envious.

I am watching the overview video and keep wanting to say “whoa but dang how about the ______ mode” but then it would be pretty much all of them. I’m especially into the particle noise mode and some of the 8-bit style sounds that seem to be coming from a few of the modes.

He’s how I got into building synth things

building my Shruthi about 5 years ago was a pretty pivotal step for me to get into making music again (after a few years hiatus), and definitely was what got me into synth DIY, and then Braids was my first Euro module. I, too, have a soft spot for Olivier’s approach to things, and his open source files have been a huge help to my slowly learning hardware design.
